Joanne, we all know what a secret is, but can you really trust anyone to keep it?

Okay. A secret is something you want to keep hidden from someone.

A circumstance, a situation, a thing. So, I don't think you 

really can keep a secret, or trust anyone to keep a secret, not even

youself.

Right. There's that old expression, "I could tell you, but then I'd have to

kill you."

Oh,right. I've heard of people spilling their own secrets in their sleep and

getting caught out.

Oh. Sleep talkers. (sleep talking) I have a friend who said he talks in his sleep,

and  sometimes, his wife is just mad at him in the morning and he

doesn't know why.

Oh, goodness me. I hope it wasn't a big secret.

Obviously, it wasn't that bad.

Okay. Yeah. I mean, do you have any friends who betrayed you

in the past? You told them a secret and they went and spilled

the beans?

I think that happens to just about everyone.

Recently, I haven't made any secrets. But back in elementary

school, I had this typical secret of having a crush on a boy. Now,

I had this friend and she went and leaked my secret, and by end

of the week, everyone in my grade knew about this (it).

Yeah. I bet they teased you a little bit.

A little bit? No. A lot! But, we were still friends after that.

Okay.

Yeah. Well, do you have any secrets that you're keeping?

Me? Secrets. Let me see...  Do you think that I'm just going

to spill my guts right here on TV. Maybe I'll tell you later...

Okay.
